Samantha Tate
Heavy Crane and Rigging Admin

Samantha is new to Smiley and the crane world but is excited to learn the industry. She previously worked as an office admin and account manager before furthering her education and becoming an Esthetician. Deciding that the employment opportunity to return to her roots as an office admin was too good to pass up, Samantha started with Smiley earlier this month.

Born and raised in Orange County California, she and the love of her life, Tyler Hoffner (Smiley Oiler), moved to Surprise in April 2022. Waiting for the weather to cool down, Samantha is looking forward to enjoying all that the Phoenix area has to offer in hiking, camping, and exploring. She loves photography and is hoping that Tyler will accompany her on some interesting hikes that give her some unique photo opportunities.

Samantha’s five year goals include getting married (hint hint Tyler), buying a house and boat, and getting settled into a company where she enjoys going to work everyday.

Please welcome Samantha to Team Smiley when you get a chance.
